Over the past few weeks Georgia, Alejandra, Vanessa, Emma, Sara and Zara have been working together to create a digital shadow puppet story. This has been a fascinating journey for us all and resulted in the girls sharing this with the rest of the class, as well as our families, in an afternoon presentation.
To begin with, the girls decided on characters for their story and established a story line. This required lots of discussion and negotiation, but the girls quickly established a shared vision for their story.
Following on from this the girls designed and created shadow puppets, performed and recorded the story and finally, recorded their voices through use of our Garageband program. The girls seemed to really enjoy the recording process, capturing their own voices and playing them back to the group.
Next, the girls wrote the names of all of the people that were invited to our presentation onto invitations and delivered these.
Finally, we turned the story into a hard copy book. The girls worked busily to illustrate the book, drawing beautiful pictures for each page.
Overall, this has been an incredibly rich and rewarding learning journey, which we celebrated the conclusion of, in the form of an afternoon presentation. This was a very joyful occasion.
